Few fans of Marc Webb’s 2009 movie can forget Gordon-Levitt’s Tom, Zooey Deschanel’s Summer and their not-quite-meant-to-be relationship. The film is essentially a manic pixie daydream that explores what happens when reality doesn’t quite live up to our expectations but we refuse to believe it.

Gordon-Levitt has spoken before about how “selfish” his character in the film was. In an interview with Playboyin 2012, the actor said Tom’s got a pretty bad attitude.
